Can you live on 1200 calories a day??!!

no, you can't! i've been cheating so much last week, i should be arrested. i'm lusting after brownies, pasta and cheesecake. i feel like i'm losing my willpower! i think it's been 3 1/2 months and only 14 lbs, so i'm feeling like i'm losing too slowly. i wanna throw it all away and eat the way i WANT to. but then i think of the consequences and it's not worth it. people think i eat a lot but i raised my calories to 1500 last week and i gained .7lbs. that's so unfair!! i have to come to terms that that's my reality and i have to work WITH it not against it.

I succumbed to temptation. So sue me.

ok, i committed jenny craig crime! i succumbed to temptation....in other words: i cheated!! you know what? it happens for the same reasons people cheat in a committed relationship. i got tired of eating the same foods week after week, same taste, same routine....*yawn*. the moral of this unfortunate event is: boredom can lead to cheating. so when it comes to food, this is what we all need to do: start having more fun with what we can eat to avoid eating what we shouldn't eat. this also applies to relationships: spice it up and keep it fun.

who knew food and sex were so connected?
